Sugar price touched Rs120/kg in urban areas while in rural Swabi shopkeepers had been fleecing consumers by charging them at their own free will.

The consumers have demanded of the district administration to ensure availability of the commodity on the open market and determine and implement its price.

They alleged that the utility stores gave sugar to influential people only and ordinary consumers were ignored.

Some of them also complained about low quality of sugar at the utility stores.

Meanwhile, gur (raw sugar) traders have also increased price of the commodity.

Five kilogrammes good quality gur was selling at Rs300-350 here about a week ago, but the same gur was now selling at Rs450.

Consumers have also demanded of the district administration to control gur prices.BLOOD DONATED: A two-day blood donation camp was organised by medical center of Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology for Fatimeed Foundation while keeping in view the need of thalassaemia patients.
